Activities on the Island
Today Flinders Island is a popular tourist destination. Its main appeal is for those who enjoy fishing, bushwalking, or are interested in the horrific history of the Tasmanian Aborigines. The main town Whitemark, probably named rather unimaginatively after a white survey mark, is located south of the airport and provides the visitor with all the necessary facilities. Regular flights are offered by Air Tasmania from Melbourne and Launceston.
The brochure Let's Talk About Flinders Island is a useful additional guide for visitors to the island.
